About the country

Germany sits at the heart of Europe. It stretches from the mudflats of the North Sea and the Baltic coast to the Bavarian Alps, where the Zugspitze rises highest. The Rhine winds past vineyards and hilltop castles, and the Black Forest is famous for its cuckoo clocks. Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press, Karl Benz’s motorcar, and Wilhelm Röntgen’s X-rays all came from here, as did the word “kindergarten” and the gummy bear.
